con artists

My wife and I are nesting (more my wife than me, but I'll take credit for some of the recent activity around here). In the process we have found some things that could be sold to free up some space and put some cash in our pockets. One of the items for sale are her beloved bike racks. They're up on craigslist and this was one of the replies I received from Fred.

Do you still have it for sale ????

sent from i phone ????

First, what's with all the questions marks? Are you super excited? Regardless, I responded with:

The racks are still for sale. I'm not around Saturday, but if you're still interested, you can come pick them up Sunday.

This is the reply I got:

Hello Seller,
Thanks for the prompt response,i am very interested in buying it so i will instruct my boss to mail out(overnight) Certified bank check that could be cashed in any cashing stores and any bank destination for quick payment,while you hold on my behalf. Once you receive this, my mover will arrange for pick up at your location. I will be needing the following information to issue out the payment...

1.Your full name
2.Your mailing address not P.O. box(Physical address)
3.Your phone number.

Please note that the payment will be overnight to your address and it will be delivered within 2 days.I have taken a close look at the AD and am satisfied.I appreciate you keeping the item for me.Kindly delete the posting as i am definitely buying it from you and it would be sad for me to have the payment in the mail only to be informed ofit's sold.
I will also wait for the check to clear before i have my mover come for the pick up.
Best regards,
Fred

What? What is Fred talking about. I hate Fred. I'm tired of people trying to snow other people. It frustrates me. These people should be treated the same as pedophiles.

My reply was this.

No, thanks. I will not hold the racks for you and for the record, you might be more convincing if you worked on your English.

I'm not normally a violent person, but this causes me to boil.
